Thanks for y...Melly & breast reduction surgery,<br />Thanks for your comments--I didn't realize I had comments that needed moderating or posting until today--OY! Anyway, I really appreciate your thoughts about the ambiguity of life and trying to let go of worry--a natural reflex as you noted, but one that we can try to combat.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13261371053113519712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076129846507777333.post-16418582944775427212011-07-11T02:24:21.224-04:002011-07-11T02:24:21.224-04:00The fear factor follow you for sure and you don...The fear factor follow you for sure and you don't have a way out wither.It is just counseling that helps understand sometimes when the thoughts and worries go our of control...it is a natural reflex I feel.breast reduction surgeryhttp://www.breastreconstructionsurgerylosangeles.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076129846507777333.post-46378576499229883202011-06-19T18:12:55.990-04:002011-06-19T18:12:55.990-04:00I think life calls for trust.

For as must as I think it is easy to sit within the space where worry is evident, I also think it is an adventure to embrace the ambiguity in life. Worry is a much more well trodden path, so we know how and where is progresses and leads, it is easy to go there, almost like keeping a daily calendar and checking it to make sure you are ticking off the next thing. Ambiguity is more like actual life, if you know what I mean, it twists and turns and presents new and interesting paths, weather of not we participate in it. So why not participate? Why not let go of the worry, when worry seems to be a projection and not quite a reality.Melly Testahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14125218449544619169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076129846507777333.post-77731469516632854352011-06-11T11:36:15.766-04:002011-06-11T11:36:15.766-04:00Hi Melly,

I try to be cautious (maybe overly cautious) about certain things--like door knobs and airplane trays (those things are chock full o'germs). But in general, I want to live my life without fearing that I'm going to catch a cold (if I get a cold, I'll suffer through the consequences) and I certainly want to live my life without second guessing every ache and imagining that it's bone cancer (sigh).<br /><br />I just don't want to live my life in fear and anxiety, ya know? But how to calm that voice in the back of my head...ahhh, if you discover a way to do that, I'm all ears!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13261371053113519712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076129846507777333.post-53673720301541681252011-06-08T06:40:12.784-04:002011-06-08T06:40:12.784-04:00I wonder how I will deal with this part of survivi...I wonder how I will deal with this part of surviving cancer. I have one friend who panics at exposing herself to smells, fears getting head colds, I don't want to go there. Part of life is living with the fact that you will come down with stuff and one day die. I want to actively participate in my health without over doing it in the fear department.Melly Testahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14125218449544619169noreply@blogger.com
